Often described as a lamp from Denmark but this type of rocket lamp is in all probability made in the Czech Republic, probably in the late 1950s, early 1960s: the Space Age.

These lamps were made in the Czech Republic, but if you want one, you have to buy it in the United Kingdom. Most of the time when a lamp is for sale it is in the UK.
